2.11.1 Saving, Recalling, and Cloning Configuration Data
Use the cloning feature of the Field Communicator or the AMS “User Configuration” feature to
configure several 2051 Wireless transmitters similarly. Cloning involves configuring a
transmitter, saving the configuration data, then sending a copy of the data to a separate
transmitter. Several possible procedures exist when saving, recalling, and cloning configuration
data. For complete instructions refer to the Field Communicator manual (publication no.
00809-0100-4276) or AMS Books Online. One common method is as follows:
